When it comes to on the rocks drinks, people tend to have a lot of questions. I’ve provided a short Q&A section below to help answer some of the most popular questions for you.
What is the best drink on the rocks?
When it comes to drinks on the rocks, scotch whisky is actually pretty popular on its own. This is because the flavor blossoms once the ice begins to melt. When it comes to mixing drinks on the rocks, rum, tequila, and vodka are popular choices.
How many oz in a rocks pour?
When you order a drink on the rocks, it will generally be a 2 ounce pour of liquor.
How many counts is a 2 oz pour?
When bartenders are making a drink using a pouring spout, they count for the pour. A 2 ounce on the rocks pour equals a 4 count.
How much is a double shot of alcohol?
A double shot is 3 ounces of alcohol, which is twice the amount of a regular 1.5 ounce shot. When someone asks for a double, you would pour a double shot, and use the same amount of other ingredients.
